Hey Kim!! I haven't talked you for a while so I thought I would comment on your blogs. Let me just say I love reading them! I've tried to convince other people who are going abroad to start them too because they are so interesting to read. Things here are very stressful but it's nice to kind of escape to africa for 10 minutes every once in a while. So I was telling Jane, I think its so interesting that you just found out your family practiced polygamy so far into your stay there. I wonder if your host father doesn't see his other family as much, or if he just waited until you got settled in before he left. If you have any updates on the polygamy stuff totally put it on here. Anyway, I'm glad things are going well and you're having so much fun!! I'll talk to you later. Steph
Man Kim. I didn't think it would do any good to add stress when you were clearly trying to get to the airport as fast as possible...but after I hung up the phone I told the people around me where you were/ the time of your flight and it received a chorus of "No way. She's not making that flight." did you pull some apparating shit or something? and your roommate sounds nice. sweet! ha i am certainly gonna have to start skimming though cuz as emily says. you were born to blog
Hey Kim,
Glad to here you are settling in and that things are getting easier. I am sure there are plenty of new and stressful events that will be happening in the next few days/weeks. Good luck with Woloof-cann't even begin to figure out how to say or know what that sounds that. Look forward to keeping up with your adventures. Cathy
Wow kim you were born to blog, I know you'll keep this up properly, which is nice for the rest of us so thanks. but also i'm sure you love doing it yourself. I look forward to the more analytical part... then you'll really be in your field haha
gonads Ok this is my second attempt at commenting so sorry if it shows up twice. Sounds like you are having an interesting experience! Sorry we didn't get to talk much this summer!! Im glad you got over there ok. I think writing all this stuff down is such a good idea! I wish I did it more this summer, I'm already starting to forget stuff. Good luck with moving in with your host family and hopefully we'll be able to skype soon!
PS I want an invite to your African wedding too! And it better be on some nice paper...no e-invites
Hey! I didn't know you were going to keep one of these -- I like this...keep writing! I'm glad things are going well, can't wait to hear more about it.
YAY FOR KIMMIES Ahh Kim, everything sounds great!! I tried calling you before you left but didn't get a hold of you (rats!) but seems like you're very well-connected there computer wise so I expect to see you on gchat often. Can't wait to see the pictures!!
PS- Please do not agree to elope with any Senegalese man who offers you riches and an adventurous life. But if you do, I expect to be invited to the wedding!
